John (That You May Believe)

I Am The True Vine (John 15:1-8)

In chapter 14 Jesus gave a staggering teaching that if anyone loves Jesus, then the Father and the Son will come to that person and make their home with that person (14:23). Jesus wants his disciples to understand the close, intimate relationship that is available for those who follow him. Jesus is now going to show what this means for us as his followers in John 15. Jesus is going to use a well-known image to communicate to his followers the glorious relationship we have with our God.
